What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?
Morning AV, welcome back. I'm sorry you got sick on Friday, glad you were safe about it. I posted last night about a gallbladder attack. It was BAD. I felt it coming on slowly, and then it hit hard and the pain was so bad I could barely breathe and I had stabbing pains in my shoulder and neck around my collar bone. I called my insurance nurse line, because the super bowl was about to start and I didn't want to go to the hospital. She told me to go to urgent care. I didn't. I took 2tbs of tyleno 3 w/ codeine liquid left over from my surgery and it only took about 30 minutes and the pain started to fade. It didn't go away completely last night, but it was dulled enough that I didn't have to run to the hospital. I am back to completely normal today. I'm going to make an appointment to see my primary doc and talk to him about it. I have a prescription for Actigal that I don't take that is supposed to help with the gallbladder stuff. I guess I'll start taking it daily. I've had gallbadder issues in the past, but not since I was pregnant with my youngest. At that time I was in my first trimester and they won't do surgery, so they kept me in the hospital pumped full of antibiotics until I felt better.
Weekend was fantastic. Big props to JuniperBerry for posting a weekend menu thread, it made me very happy. Hubby and I went out for date night on Saturday with our friends who both have had WLS. Dinner at a fancy seafood restaurant and then the comedy club. I had 4 drinks and got a good buzz and laughed my hiney off. It was so fun. My hubby has sore abs from laughing so hard.
So, my menu today is pretty awesome and I'm feeling great. Got a message from my docs office that my labs are good and that they are mailing a copy to me, so I'm excited to see where I'm at.

Good Morning! I've really missed you Ladies. I did log on over the weekend but didn't post anything. I wanted to share with everyone this morning some news. I had two second interviews on Thursday - well guess what? I received an offer (from the one I really wanted) and the second interview indicated they wanted me back to meet with the Board of Directors.....Such a morale booster!
Thank you Ladies for listening to me .....A few of you sent me messages with uplifting words and you don't know how much I really appreciate it and more than that - how much I needed it. I start my new job on Tuesday, Feb 16th and I'm ready to go!
I am headed to the doctor for a check up and I've not planned my meals for the day but I'm sure I'll eat accordingly. I still have 10 pounds to get off....At least now, I'll be out of the house which will help tremendously....
In case you didn't know - You Ladies ARE the Bomb!
Have a wonderful day!
PS: I didn't do too bad over the weekend but could have done better....But I'm Back! I'm on a mission.
